(By R. J. Werner, County Agri culturist) ( If the American farmer asked the question, "How can I serve my coun try best?" the answer would undoubt edly be, "Raise more wheat if you can." Wheat is the one crop that will be needed in unlimited quanti ties and Uncle Sam is now calling for "More Wheat." Mr. Hoover requested the state of Oregon to increase its acreage 41 per cent over last year's crop. The greatest increase will be in eastern Oregon, but the Willamette valley will also have to contribute to the cause if Oregon is to maintain her usual standing of first in response to the call. The varieties which are best adapt ed to Clackamas county; are: Forty fold, White Winter, Red Chaff and Golden Cross. If you have a sur plus' of seed please notify the county agriculturist and he will find a buy er. If you are in need of seed write the county agriculturist at Oregon City and he will try to locate what you want. DON'T PAY COSTS Mrs. Moore Resigns Mrs. Carl S.

Twenty-six states of the union are not paying, from their revenues, their total expenses for government al costs, interest on indebtedness, and outlays for nermanent lmDrove. ments; and of this number 11 are not even meeting their current expenses and interest. In 22 states, however. the revenues exceed the total expen ditures for current exnenses. inter est, and outlays. These and other important facts are brought out in tne report. The aggregate revenues of all the states duriner the vear were $4fifi.- 946,748; the aggregate expenditures tor current governmental costs, in cluding interest on indebtedness, $425,071,093: and the aeereeate out lays for permanent improvements, $o,UB3,ue.

A Judgment in the sum of $1800, with interest, at 6 per cent from Junt 6, 1016, was granted Thursday Farm With Great Care The soil of the United States is asked to produce the largest crops next season in the history of Amer ican farming. Promise of good prices, as well as the spirit of loy alty to their country, will lead farm ers to put forth special effort to meet the requirements. The world must have food; the soldiers of the allied nations must be well nourished if they are to win the war. The farmers must, and will, rally to the call for the production of bumper crops, but they must farm judiciously. Never before was there so great need for careful farming. Scientific cultivation of (the soil was never so much needed. Fertilization, is necessary as it never was before. Patriotism and the temptation of high prices are likely to lead the farmer to take from his soil at this time the maximum yields possible, without putting back any fertility. But he must look to the future as well as to the present It is im measurably harder to build up de pleted soil than to maintain it year after year in a state of fertility. Therefore, it behooves the owner of land to see that every fertilizing ele ment obtainable is put into the soil. No waste vegetation should be burn ed. There are practicable ways of putting even straw and stubble into the Soil. Every pound of manure should be utilized. Every drop of moisture should be conserved by means of cultivation. This is necessary in order to meet the present crisis, but it is more necessary for confronting future con ditions in crop production.
